Howes London Shows in the street parade this morning- And what a lot of One horses The herds of elephants the Camels and the caged animals are all in the best of condition and include a baby camel born a few weeks ago in win ter quarters A cage that will receive much at tention contains three li on cubs whose royal parents watch them with apparent pride from an other cage across the enclosure The laughing hyena is a creature of great interest and the attendants know how to coax him to utter the peculi ar cry from which he gets his The wilds of Africa and Asia and South America have been drawn upon for many other creatures of which all have read and to see which the op portunity is seldom afforded This circus carries the usual side attrac tion An especially pleading feature of the Howe Shows is the appearance of everything Four bands in the parade discoursed excellent music along the way- There is a goodsized crop of clowns whose work in tickling the risibilities of the crowd is highly spoken of in other places where the circus has exhibited The main tent with its rings and platform is very large and with its several seats and general admission affords everybody a good view The shows carry a group of feature acts including the Japanese troupe who have one of the best juggling performances ever seen under canvas The troupe of Russian dancers is a novelty and a great bit Among the bareback riders are Wallace and Cecil artists whose names are famous in circusdom All the costumes worn by the per formers are new and have been im ported from Europe where they were designed by experts Another feature of the show as demons rat ed at the afternoon performance is that of the old and threadtare clown is entirely lacking and something more snappy and sidesplitting used in its place The clowns alone are worth seeing The feature company of the circus performance was the marvellous Ed dy family who in their three num bers proved themselves all that the had been heralded In an iron jaw act three members of the troupe swing through the air performing different feats as well as playing banjos guitars and mandolins while holding by their teeth In the tight- wire number and Phillip Eddy performed feats that defy the laws of gravitation dancing and prancing on the wire as if they were on a parlor floor Master Phillip turning a fllpflap on the slender wire without the aid of a balancing pole or umbrella is a wonderful The trained ekplrants worked fast and were very clever showing excellent training The show will be at Newmarket on June A I i 4 HOUSE
